In December 2013, Deputy Donna Williams was involved in an off-duty altercation at a Del Taco drive-through. After attending a Christmas party and an after-party, she and her boyfriend encountered another vehicle blocking the exit. A confrontation ensued, during which Williams identified herself as an off-duty deputy sheriff and attempted to de-escalate the situation. The incident led to her termination from the department. However, in 2015, a San Bernardino County Superior Court found that the Civil Service Commission’s findings upholding her termination were against the weight of the evidence. The court ordered her retroactive reinstatement with back pay, benefits, and interest calculated back to the date of termination.
